A Tag brush is usually a signature to represent someones artistic projects as their own material. By doing this we simply took from our original B/W logo, represented in my logo project blog post, and transferred it over to Photoshop. From there I downloaded splash images and mark images to place over the logo, picking the ones that fit the shape of my logo the best. After this we simply created our brush with the combination of the images within our outline of the logo (using the pen tool). Fro...

                                                Photoshop tutorials https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1mwj8AH98Y\ Seeing the differences and similarities between Illustrator and Adobe Photoshop is interesting; watching my first video introduction to Photoshop, what immediately stuck out were the tools.

Both have the same features, but the lasso tool is a more straightforward process overall. While watching the video, I noticed anothe...

I started this project by picking a picture of myself, which would be the best for the use of Illustrator but also e...

                                                       Personal  Logo Rough Sketches / Illustrations:      Artist Statement:  The art piece above represents what my personal logo would look like if I had one! I had first begun this project by sketching many ideas of what my logo might look like, simple but effective in its overall message to represent myself. When picking the sketch for my logo, I used Adobe Illustrator with the Pathfinder and Pen tool to create this sleek look, ensuring every shape apart from the overall logo had perfect size and alignment. Ultimately, I devised three different colorways that speak volumes about what the logo means to me. The idea behind this logo is more complicated than some might think.  In this life, I've always been walking this straight line. A straight l...
